Thanks, shrift, I'm gonna print that out and take it with me. Fleeing in ignorance becaue the store employees are intimidating is my usual tactic, I'm afraid.

Heh. You're welcome.

Oh, and I don't know if they do this elsewhere, but at my local shop, the brand new issues are displayed on shelves just above the magazine racks of comics.

It actually took me a while to realize that, despite the fact that the new comics are basically on eye-level.

Yeah, comic store employees can sometimes turn out to be like the guys who work in the record store in High Fidelity.

And also it makes you look like a big dork who has nothing better to do than go to a comic book store twice a week.

Luckily there are three comic book stores in town and since I hit two yesterday (they are fairly close to each other) I can hit the other today.

sj -- there have been times I want to ask something but don't because it seems like such a basic question. But when I have talked to the various employees at the various stores they've been very nice and helpful and happy to enable my new addiction.

Also I forgot to mention that in 2 stores the new comics are arranged alphabetically. And on store has more recent back issues behind the current issues.

But the other place has them divided up by publisher.

Because I am insane: Dickwiki. Click to poke around, register to edit stuff.

Warning: still profoundly contentless.

I find bouncing a little helps with that.

I am, of course, shameless.

Amych, you rock completely. Should the Wiki have pre-title backstory thumbnails? (Wiki entries for major storylines, like C/L, after which the NW title picked up.)

I was thinking of that, as well as a category for big multi-title Batverse arcs (Cataclysm comes to mind as an obvious example) in which the NW title plays a part.

on edit: "Nightwing and the Batverse" category added to contents page -- let's see what seems to fit there....

Yep. And the minor crossovers that affect the title, like Last Laugh.

This is gonna be fun.

Also, a lot of Data Entry.

t groan Yep.

Oh dear god. I've just caught up in this thread, and now I'm having to fight the urge to purchase EVERY SINGLE NIGHTWING RELATED COMIC IN THE STORE when I go pick up my Astonishing X-Men after work.

You all are a bunch of pushers, that's it.
